Agent Specializing in Accessible/Special Needs
My son Adam was special Needs and loved to Travel so I dedicated my business to Adam to help those who feel they are unable to travel to give them hope and support so they too can experience the world. I hosted an accessible small group to Alaska with seniors who had mobility issues. We experienced the beautiful state of Alaska together for 16 days on a sea and land tour. The most rewarding experience was seeing their smiles and hearing them say, "I can't believe I am here and where we will be going next?" Having a certification with the Special Needs Group, I am able to plan ahead with any equipment my clients may need and prepare ahead so all their needs will be met. So, they are able to have no worries and just enjoy the destination and experience while making new friends. If you feel you are unable to travel due to dietary, mobility or ambulatory concerns or have special needs, I am here to help you every step of the way to make your dreams become a reality!

Best decision ever!!!
Reviewed By Kristi - Graham, North Carolina | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
I have never been pleased with the 1 or 2 times that I hired a travel advisor, in the past. Even though we didn't get to go on the Hawaii trip she planned for me, due to Covid-19, I couldn't be more grateful. Not only did she get us amazing flight deals, the cancellation was very easy. I can't wait to see what she finds when we are able to reschedule!

Eileen is a joy to work with. She has planned two trips for us, one completed and one in the future. She is very thorough, informing us and taking care of things we had not thought of. For our trip to Yellowstone she gave us four different choices with different prices and services so we could pick the ideal one for our tastes.

Learn a Lesson - Use a Travel Advisor!
Reviewed By M. R. - Houston, Texas | Traveled to Yellowstone National Park ~ Wyoming ~ USA
So, I learned painfully, so you don't have to. Lean in... Eileen booked a complex trip for us to Alaska last year. There were a couple of issues that Eileen worked out. She made it look so easy. This year, I decided to take the lead and book a trip to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. Well, the travel world has changed big time post-Covid, and trips I used to orchestrate are now highly likely to experience issues and changes. So far, I've probably put in 8 hrs in rectifying stuff with online travel agencies and airline carriers… Oh, and one of our travelers is ill and cannot go, so now I am navigating the refund process for the insurance I purchased… and at this point seems fruitless. My point? Use Eileen at Land and Sea Travel. She lives and breathes this stuff.

Our 40th Wedding Anniversary celebration in Alaska
Reviewed By Tim & Teresia - Palm City, FL | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
This marks 40 for my wife Teresia and me. Every 10, we plan out an epic trip worthy of the wait. Though it’s not until November, we’re celebrating all year long. So many ways to plan this out! Not to worry though, I have a friend who can shed some light – your friend too, Eileen Murphy at Land and Sea Travel, LLC. For weeks we exchanged Q&As about one city vs another, routes, trains, planes, automobiles, hotels, sights, just about everything. Then it hit me, why not just let Eileen plan it out? What we wanted was something that hit key highlights and did not involve big crowds.
After a couple of calls with both of us, Eileen sent her proposal. We tuned it and booked it.

How did we get to Greece? With the help of Eileen Murphy with Land and Sea Travel. She has over 20+ years of cruise experience under her belt and it really shows! She is extremely detail-oriented and answered all our questions and then some. Eileen stayed on top of everything throughout the process; from selecting the Greek islands cruise that was right for us, to booking discounted international flights and beautiful hotels in Athens. She also coordinated transportation to and from the Athens airport and Piraeus Port. Everything went off without a hitch and I can’t say enough nice things about our experience with Eileen. The icing on the cake is that she was also able to get us $400 cruise credit which we used for fine dining and spa treatments aboard the ship. Nice! Marika

Eileen did a tremendous job assisting my mom and brother while booking a cruise out of Florida on very short notice. She found the best possible price and provided outstanding customer service.

The best trip of our lives!!
Reviewed By Murph - Hillsborough, NC 27278 | Traveled to Grand Turk ~ Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
It had been 30 years since we took a cruise and were a bit clueless. We must have called or questioned Eileen a dozen times and she always responded quickly with that upbeat , positive . reassuring , patient voice of hers. We also traveled to 3 other destinations but this site would only let me do one.

Eileen Saved Us !
Reviewed By Leah - Cary, NC | Traveled to Eastern Europe ~ Europe
Eileen booked our trip with Uniworld Cruises. Because of the pandemic our flights were cancelled or changed three times! The last time was just two weeks out from our trip. Each time she was able to come up with alternative flights for us. She was super responsive and always returned our calls promptly -- even during the evenings. Eileen saved us countless stressful hours booking and rebooking flights. Throughout the process she remained calm and kept us calm as well. Thanks, Eileen!
Eileen Murphy responded:

Testimony - Jamaican Paradise!
For my first time traveling outside the country I am happy that I chose Eileen to be my travel agent. Eileen made it very stress-free, I didn't have to worry about anything. Every time I had a question she was on top of it, quick to reply (phone or email), if she didn't know the answer she would find out the answer. When I said "I want to travel outside the country and go somewhere Caribbean here's my budget what can you find" she came back with an awesome choice of Ocho Rios, Jamaica and it was under my budget. The resort was amazing! Once we were there she was still in contact with me to make sure that we got in our van to head to the resort. Not once did I feel left alone, she was there until I checked in and even made sure that I was having fun! Thank you Eileen for making my first experience outside of the country a stress-free one. I will definitely recommend Eileen and definitely be calling her when I need those awesome prayers!

Aruba Vacation Success!
Eileen made all of that happen! They loved their hotel, it was beyond their expectations! They loved the area and they loved all of the activities planned for them and she also made me, the mom happy because I knew they were as safe as possible. Eileen remained very communicative throughout the whole process and did as much as possible to be sure they were completely happy with their entire travel experience. She succeeded and I feel confident recommending Eileen to anyone who wants to be sure that their vacation meets or exceeds their expectations! She's the best. Literally the best. MAF

Yellowstone Adventure!
Jody and I recently went on the Tauck “Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks” trip in May. Everything about Taucks' arrangements and management were first class. The guide (and driver) were personable and knowledgeable. Accommodations were very good with special enjoyment in staying at some of the historic National Park Lodges. The trip covered quite a distance (especially across the great plains) but the long hours on the bus were pleasant with the storytelling by the guide. Special thanks to Eileen Murphy of Land and Sea Travel for educating us on our trip options and helping us to choose Tauck which fit well with our main desires for the trip. We already have her working on future trips for us! Michael McCrory
